The Election of Directors was postponed at our Annual General Meeting in June due to the changes made to our by-laws at that meeting. For more information about the by-law changes, please review draft minutes, a summary of the amendments and the 2014 Annual Report.

Why the changes?

  • Better engagement of board members and other volunteers
  • Clarity of the board’s governance role
  • Flexibility to recruit board members and other volunteers as needed for skills/experience in alignment with organizational goals
  • Preserve pan-provincial representation
  • Sustainable model to accommodate change in direction of the organization, makeup of the community or programming orientation
